Tyrann Mathieu and Jordan Jefferson Among Four Former LSU Players Arrested on Drug Charges

Sports Illustrated missed their money shot. WAFB in Baton Rouge is reporting that Tyrann Mathieu was among four former LSU football players arrested for marijuana possession today. The list also includes last year’s starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson, and former safeties Karnell Hatcher and Derrick Bryant. The four were booked into East Baton Rouge Prison at 4:45pm. Mathieu, Jefferson and Hatcher face simple possession charges. Bryant was charged with possession with intent to distribute.

The incident began when police responded to a call after Jordan Jefferson tried to force entry through the apartment complex’s security gate…

At approximately 3:30pm Thursday, officers were dispatched to an apartment at 262 West State in Baton Rouge in reference to a complaint about a man attempting to force his way in to the complex through a security gate, police said. According to police news release: The man was confronted by a maintenance worker and words were exchanged. Before officers arrived the man had been let into the complex by a resident and was seen going into an apartment. When officers went to the apartment and knocked on the door it was answered by the resident, Tyrann Mathieu, age 20, police said.

“Officers immediately smelled a strong odor of marijuana and obtained consent from Mathieu to search the apartment”, a police news release said. “Inside they found three other men, including the one who had allegedly tried to force his way through the gate. He was identified as Jordan Jefferson,” police said. Police said the other two men were identified as Bryant and Hatcher.

Police discovered 10 bags of “high grade marijuana,” a grinder and a digital scale. Seven of the bags were in Bryant’s backpack. Some will get moralistic about marijuana use. We’ll just point out this is super dumb for Mathieu, who just had to stay out of trouble for a few months and get drafted. Perhaps hanging around LSU’s campus with a lot of idle time was not the best option?

At least he didn’t do something REALLY stupid, like let his name be used on another flyer.

In a just world, Jefferson would have stepped aside and let Jarrett Lee get through the gate for him.

So decision-making is not high on his list of attributes.

Dumbass. I mean, shouldn’t they teach this type of thing in Football 101?

None of that means anything other than they found some amount of weed.

The cops smelled weed! So….you either let them search or one of them stands there while another one goes and gets a piece of paper that says they can search. Whether you want them to or not.

Time to dispose of in the toilet. 10 bags? Big bags? Little bags? What you want is zero to fewer bags. Big difference for being busted for simple possession and intent to sell. EVERY SECOND COUNTS, METH!

You going to flush a grinder and digital scale out down the toilet?

Just trying to minimize the amount of fuckupedness that is going to reign down on them.

Weed being illegal is stupid. Granted, these guys aren’t the brightest bulbs in the box, but this kind of shit shouldn’t cost people opportunities (both in sports and regular 9-5 jobs). Don’t smoke a plant, but if you’re 21 or older feel free to get fucking smashed out of your brain…

America is stupid….

scripty

does weed go bad?

depends how it’s kept, but yea. it can go bad from the start or go stale or get moldy if it’s still wet.

He plead down to possession, IIRC. Damn, that was a long time ago.

he got lucky then as i recall the cops got called for some domestic situation; they came in, made sure everything was okay the lady wasnt getting beat up or nothing, then they saw like 5-6 little bags on the counter. whoops.

that said, Cribbs seems cool and tons tons of shit for the CLE area especially kids.

Some of that potent weed is actually classified as a higher tier(class) drug. Shit can go anywhere from $20 a gram and up. Not exactly sitting on chump change right there.
